4) Prepare another pot and boil the other potatoes until they are soft. Peel the cooked potatoes, then cube them.

Preparing the gravy:
1) Heat the cooking oil in a pot, then fry the pounded onion, garlic and peanuts. Fry the said ingredients for few seconds, and then add in the chilli paste, turmeric powder and curry powder and continue frying until aroma arises.
2) Add water, salted soy bean paste and sweet potatoes.
3) Leave ingredients in the pot to boil until sweet potatoes soften.
4) Remove potatoes and mash them, then throw them back to the pot to help thicken the gravy.
5) Add sugar and salt to taste. Then, leave it to simmer to achieve the preferred thickness.
5) The dish is now ready to be served.

Looks delicious. I'd like to try it this coming weekend. I'll have to go to Asda for shopping. I doubt I'll get the yellow noodles there though. Where can I get such noodles in the UK? Can I replace it with other types of noodles?

Hello Jacqueline. I remember during my studying years in UK, I bought yellow noodles from Tesco and ASDA. If you can't find yellow noodles, you can replace it with spaghetti. Spaghetti taste equally delicious. Enjoy!
